Showing video on a TV is arguably the most important feature of a game console.
Note: I'm naming milestones after types of circles 💁
Must have:
- MVP video device is designed and implemented in the simulator
- Basic program which tests out the video device (e.g. a title screen, very basic gameplay)
- A tool to encode tile data from images (and manage palettes)
- Video device registers and design are documented somewhere

- Ability to capture the video output for testing (maybe as a gif?)
- A tool to manage tile maps and sprite data
